💥 NEW RESEARCH JUST DROPPED… AND IT’S CHANGING HOW WE LOOK AT DISC HEALTH
Many people are told their spinal discs are “wearing out” because of age, posture, sitting too long, or an old injury.
But new research is highlighting something far more interesting… and far more hopeful.
A recent study titled “D-mannose alleviates intervertebral disc degeneration through glutamine metabolism” suggests that in degenerating discs, the cells aren’t simply “worn out” — their messaging systems may be disrupted.
Inside the disc, the cells are still present… but their signals can become unclear.
This can affect how they regulate inflammation, hydration, collagen support, and normal tissue repair.
Let that sit for a moment.
➡️ Your body is not failing.
➡️ Your body is constantly trying to adapt and repair.
Sometimes the communication within the system just isn’t as clear as it could be.
When communication within the body becomes distorted — especially under ongoing stress — things can shift:
• Signals become less efficient
• Inflammation may increase
• Repair may slow down
• Systems don’t work together as well
And this is exactly why the spine and nervous system matter.
At its core, chiropractic care focuses on supporting healthy spinal movement and nervous system function, which in turn supports the body’s ability to adapt, coordinate, and communicate effectively.
This new research encourages a different question:
❌ “Why is my disc wearing out?”
✔️ “How can I support clearer communication and better function in my body?”
When communication improves, the body can express its potential more fully.
Function improves.
Movement improves.
Quality of life improves.
This is the direction spine health is moving — and it’s exactly what we see every day in practice at Bathurst Chiropractic.
